I want to preface this “guide” with the idea I do have access to a wide variety of planes, higher and lower tiers. I also have the luxury of a variety of pilot skills, so my perception has been skewed. That being said, planes that I personally feel will make your life easy in this event for lots of the missions: Meteor/Tornado, Pancake, Starfire, IL40/P, 262, BVP tier 8-10.

Other planes that provide options: British heavies like the beaufighter, thunderbolt line with lots of rockets, La 9, Tier 6 or 8 premium bomber or the German heavy bombers.

If someone would like more in-depth help and advice as well as alternative plane choices, I will be more than happy to help out where/when I can. I prefaced this guide with the above planes because of the length of time people will have to grind up respective tech tree lines and working towards certain pilot skills.

Attrition game mode will be updated and modified once the event has started and I’ve done the missions at the weekend. If requested I can also get screenshots/replays of the games I did the missions on during streaming.

Due to popular request I have gone back and counted all my games and checked numbers, took away test games for other stuff and request. Roughly 100 games was required to solo all the missions, I would say at least 30-40 of those were attempting the 10 defence aircraft mission and being on defence.

EDIT Attrition mode added to previous missions and for stage 3.

Stage 1: Invasion or Attrition.

March 2 18:00 UTC – March 5 02:00 UTC, March 16 – March 19, March 30 – April 2.

March 9 18:00 UTC – March 12 02:00 UTC, March 23 – March 26, April 6 – April 9.

1: Air Superiority

Primary:Earn at least 8,000 personal points for destroying aerial targets in any number of battles

Secondary: Earn at least 8,000 personal points for destroying aerial targets in a single battle.

Spoiler

This can be a little more challenging but possible if you focus again on destroying GAA targets on defence. Due to not having to stay alive, you are able to take more risks and take the fight to the enemy. Ideal planes are those with reliable long firing cannons on light fighters and multi roles, capable of a strong boost to relocate to another sector and turn effectively when there.

2: Control over the Territories

Primary: Earn at least 500 capture points in any number of battles.

Secondary: Earn at least 400 capture points in a single victorious battle.

Spoiler

You can do this using high tier GAA and focus on speed and making as damage as fast as possible. But as you don’t need to worry about dying, try not to capture too quickly and allow yourself to die a few times if you need to, this allows sector GT to respawn and then you can get more capture points when you return. I used my trust IL40P but the German tier 7 could also do this with speed and quick bomb reload to get to other sectors.

3: Mopping-Up

Primary: Destroy at least 25 aerial targets in any number of battles.

Secondary: Destroy at least 15 aerial targets in a single battle.

Spoiler

I found for this mission it was better to be on the defending side. Choose a central sector or 2 sectors close together and focus on destroying the 4-5 planes that attack ground targets and any straggling fighters and multi roles. If you are in a plane that can climb well, shooting down bombers can also make this especially easy.

Suggested planes: Meteor, Starfire and Pancake. I found anything with speed, ability to turn with reliable guns can make this mission a lot easier. If it has enough ordinance to quickly take out a GAA without having to waste too much time, this can really help you speed up this mission.

Things to note: If you defend too well, you will not have the time to get enough kills. Once you have hit 4-5 planes on the first wave, allow the enemy team to capture 1-2 sectors, allowing multiple waves of enemies to spawn and allow you to concentrate defence on a sector with team support.

4: Rear Attack

Primary: Participate in capturing at least 10 sectors in any number of battles.

Secondary: Participate in capturing at least 3 sectors in a single battle. Your aircraft must not be destroyed during the battle.

Spoiler

Anything like a bomber or fast GAA can do this. Don’t worry too much about fully capturing the sector yourself, as long as you destroy a full GT you will get the capture assist and you can then move on to a quieter sector. Easier in a flight with someone who can keep your tail clear and distract your enemies. For example I helped someone out by taking my RB17 and flying at 50 meters dragging the enemy team to the opposite side of the map to the person I was helping.

Stage 2: Invasion

March 2 18:00 UTC – March 5 02:00 UTC, March 16 – March 19, March 30 – April 2.

5: Fire Whirl

Primary Task: Cause at least 5,000 HP of damage to aerial targets in any number of battles in invasion mode.

Secondary: Cause at least 3,500 of damage to aerial targets in a single battle in the invasion mode.

Spoiler

Easy mission that’s easy to do on defence and will happen eventually. Though to increase your speed of completion, higher tiers will make life easier with all planes having more hp. For example an IL40P has 2-3k hp.

6: Mopping-Up

Primary Task: Destroy at least 50 aerial targets in any number of battles.

Secondary Task: Destroy at least 25 aerial targets in any number of victorious battles.

Spoiler

Another grind over time mission that you can do through concentrating on killing planes that will help you complete objectives and secure the victory. Again if people struggle I can provide advice, but this should be fairly easy.

7: Control over territories.

Primary Task: Earn at least 1,500 capture points in any number of battles.

Secondary Task: Earn at least 300 capture points in a single battle. Your aircraft must not be destroyed during the battle.

Spoiler

Easy to do as defender and playing safe. Secure an airfield that can keep you repaired and you will be able to keep yourself alive for longer. Get the cap points in a light fighter with decent fire power to chunk away at the enemy. Again a meteor is a strong choice for this.

8: Direct Hit

Primary Task: Destroy at least 5 enemy aircraft using rockets in any number of battles.

Secondary Task: Destroy at least 5 enemy aircraft using rockets in any number of victorious battles.

Spoiler

This can be difficult for some people but certain planes make this VERY easy. With the rocketeer expert skill, the following planes make getting rocket kills easy; 262, F94D Starfire, BVPs. Other strong planes like the pancake with tiny tims and other planes can make life easy, the thunderjet with 2 tiny tims and 12 HVARs.

Otherwise the best and easiest way to get the kills is to knock ground attackers down to half health or below, then aim at the floor in front of them so the explosion radius finished them off and you will find it easier. Another option when you practice with certain planes you can get good head on rocket kills on heavies.

9: Air Superiority

Primary Task: Earn at least 30,000 personal points for destroying enemy aircraft in any number of battles.

​Secondary Task: Earn at least 8,500 personal points for destroying enemy aircraft in a single battle. Your aircraft must not be destroyed during the battle.

Spoiler

Primary is simple, the secondary can be more difficult with not getting yourself destroyed. I found this simpler on defence, again focusing large hp targets like ground attackers and heavy bombers, as well as any heavy fighters foolish enough to get too low. But make sure you don’t take unnecessary risks and get yourself bomb trapped or caught out. Something like a meteor will work very well in defence. Or a high tier powerful plane with ordinance like a starfire or pancake is also a very good choice.

Stage 3 – Attrition

March 9 18:00 UTC – March 12 02:00 UTC, March 23 – March 26, April 6 – April 9.

10: Rear Attack

Primary Task: Participate in capturing at least 30 sectors in any number of battles.

Secondary: Participate in capturing at least 30 sectors in any number of victorious battles.

Spoiler

Simple grinding mission that happens over time if you have a GAA to grind, this'll do!

11: Air Defence Penetration

Primary Task: Earn at least 10,000 personal points for destroying air defence aircraft in any number of battles.

Secondary: Earn at least 500 personal points for destroying air defence aircraft in a single battle.

Spoiler

This can be a slight pain, but doable. Light fighters will work and things with lots of sniping and last hitting potential like the ta-152 or something with sustained fire like quad 20's

12: Annihilation

Primary Task: Destroy at least 30 enemy attack aircraft or bombers in any number of battles.

Secondary Task: Destroy at least 50 enemy attack aircraft or bombers in any number of victorious battles.

Spoiler

Like the XF mission, command centre bombers don't count. Pure grinding mission that i suggest you play tier 4-6 on. Play a heavy that can climb for bombers and kill GAA easy or the hawker line. You'll get there and some games you will only have 1 gaa on the enemy team.

13: Air Strike

Primary Task: Cause at least 30,000 Hp of damage to ground targets in any number of battles.

Secondary Task: Cause at least 8,000HP of damage to ground targets in a single victorious battle.

Spoiler

High tier bomber or GAA and this is easy. I did this in 1 game with my IL40P both secondary and primary.

14: Control over Territories

Primary Task: Earn at least 4,000 capture points when attacking sectors in any number of battles.

Secondary Task: Earn at least 400 capture points when attacking sectors in a single battle.

Spoiler

Easier to do with a GAA or bomber, you don't have to worry about dying or losing the game so just focus on cap points to flip sectors or finishing off small GTs and large ones. Or defending a sector all game if that's preferred.

Final Mission

15: Final Blow

Primary Task: Destroy at least 15 enemy aircraft in a single victorious battle. Your aircraft must not be destroyed more than 2 times.

Secondary: Win a battle all secondaries must be completed.

Spoiler

Only counts planes you see on the enemy team when you press tab. There is a slight bug at the moment with this mission that is being addressed and I'll inform people as and when I know more.

Thanks for the write up. Not sure if you remember how many battles it took in order to achieve all missions with distinction, if you do can you list them, even if it is just an estimated range. Also, how much play time did it take you to complete both sets of missions? There is a lot of "stuff" on the forums right now about how impossible they are, or how it can only be done by people that play 24/7, was this the case for you?

I don't know how many games exactly, I can go back and count them as the hall of fame no longer does a time period. But I can tell you that I did all of them within 15 hours. That included testing and trying out game economy and helping someone do their missions.

How can you choose whether you'll be in Invasion or Defense mode for a particular task? I wasted several battles last time because I was placed on the wrong side.

Play GAA or bomber or flight with one to force the MM to put you on attack side. With so few players around (as always) someone playing GAA/bomber will force the fighters into the defense side because the attacking side already has humans. Even as fighters there's still a chance you would end up on attacking side, but with the aforementioned circumstance playing fighters would more or less put you into the defending side.

If the map has an airbase you can change planes once you are in. This means that you can use your GAA/bomber to force your placement into attacking side and change to a fighter when your team captures the airbase.

WoWP makes a great jousting game...especially with the 262 and people busy in furballs...
I am deaf, silent, and fly with unrealistic controls. Do not count on me to carry - my back's already broken from overweight.

Thanks. My Twitch highlights show roughly the same amount of time. So 15 hours over 3 days.

Sector capture missions and generic capture point missions are almost easy to do in bombers. That would be 2, 4, 7, 10, and 13. Go high and make good, fast sector captures and it’s easy.

I really dont don’t see how anyone is getting 15 kills in a single battle as short as these battles have been....much less 15 kills, in one victorious battle and no deaths...

Mission 12 I had to resort to flying the A26B so there would be a guaranteed bomber on the other side. And bomber flights don’t count, it has to be enemy team bots or enemy players to get credit for the bomber kills.

The most important thing by far is that the Do 335 is at least on paper reasonably possible to get.

I'm not going to do the event as I have Premium fighters from both nations, but that's almost purely because I find the Curtiss mission 4 "bonus objective" to be.... ahahahahahahahaha... You need a Tier 8+ GA at the least so you can splash a whole target with one bomb.

(EDIT: I'm talking about the "kill 15 ground targets, and this means full targets not the individual bunkers and AA guns, in one match and not die" insanity)

You don't need to capture the whole sector yourself. All you need to do is participate in it capture by destroying at least 1 section of that sector. If you are paying attention to the battle above, you can tell whether or not your team will cap that sector, many times the first is captured quickly, so you can judge if you can go in quickly, destroy on section, and go off to the next sector while your team finishes capturing, you will get the credit for the sector capture as well.

I would advise the tier 7 Me 265, or IL 10 as they are both fast and can get from sector to sector quickly.

I've completed Rear Attack's distinction with...of all things, I-207 fighter. Once you have somehow participated in three sector captures without dying you can just be a d*k, disengage, and go hide in a corner waiting for the match to end one way or the other. The requirement is only for you to survive all the way through, not winning or anything. Preferable to do in Attrition because you can participate in capture with anything.

You are talking about the "Kill 15 ground targets in one battle and not die once" mission, right?

That's goddamned impossible unless you're telling me I can just shoot all the AA guns and then when the team caps the sector all those count as fully destroyed GTs by me.

As far as I can tell that's not how it works, I have to kill the bunkers next to the AA guns too for it to count... and with GA agility that's really hard unless one bomb can splash them all or I have enough rockets.

Maybe a multirole fighter with bombs and rockets would have an easier time in pirating such GT kills (kill the last building in a GT)?

I'm talking about Mission 4 in this thread, Capture 3 sectors and survive. You don't have to sit around till the entire sector is captured. You only have to contribute to it. I gave an example of Ground Attack, the same applies for Bombers, but for a HF, MR, LF, if you destroy 1 plane and participate in the sectors capture. Not, you have to destroy a plane, or destroy at least 1 ground target in the sector. For example, a section of ground targets consists of (1AA, 1 tent, 2 bunkers) or (1AA, 3 tents). As long as your team ends up capturing the sector after you leave, you still get credit.

I was saying that the Dornier missions are at least reasonably possible.
